3: Chop the garlic and sprinkle on top with small pieces of parsley and thyme. Add the lemon juice, pinenuts, almonds, pepper and salt.

4: Disolve the stock cube in a small glass of warm water and pour onto the chicken. Then pour on the glass of white wine and the oil. Try to make sure that all these liquids are poured over the ingredients as evenly as possible.

Use quality ingredients:

  • Olive oil: Use a good quality oil. Users of the Ciao website recommend Aceite Carbonell. Here is anothe list of recommended Spanish olive oils: Aceitedeoliva.com...
  • As far as the stock cube is concerned, our very special and bonafide chef, Abuela (Grandmother) Joaquina, recommends using Gallina Blanca chicken breast stock.
  • If you prefer, you can follow the same recipe but instead of chicken use turkey or lamb. If you use lamb. If you do use lamb, remember to use more aromatic herbs (thyme, rosemary..) and less oil, because lamb is fattier than chicken. If you don't have any wine, you can also use cognac, martini, whiskey, liquor...
